Situated off of the Pont Neuf bridge, Place Dauphine is without a doubt one of the most beautiful hidden spots in Paris — a tiny pocket immune from loud tourists or the busy “Quai” off the Seine river. A mere 102 meters in length, Place Dauphine, in the shape of a triangle, buttressed by tall old apartment buildings, facing the grand Palais de Justice (French Supreme Court), with its marbled lions guarding its grand doors. Shaded by tall buidlings, this little plaza has a park with benches, where lovers smooch and old men come to play pétanque, the French version of bowling.
